St. Clare of Assisi -Original Watercolor Painting
Santa Chiara d'Assisi, Founder of the Order of Poor Clares
A Year of Saints: Created as part of the A Year of Saints Collection. Learn more about this collection and the outlook that shaped my process HERE.
Details: An original painting, unframed, 4.5x6 inches, pencil outline layered in high quality watercolor pigments on cold-pressed (textured) paper. Artist's signature clearly visible in fine-tipped brown art pen.
Watercolor paintings develop layer by layer until the portrait comes into focus — glowing and intricate. This particular palette is delicate and neutral, reflecting her Franciscan habit.
St. Clare is famous for holding up the Eucharist to defend her convent against invaders, and here she is encouraging the observer to have that same trust in Him.
Framing: I imagine this painting matted or floating over a mat in a neutral white or cream color to best showcase the portrait. I'd set it in a frame that complements the color palette of your home’s aesthetic, perhaps in a dark wood or simple, thin metalic.
More information on how to best preserve and frame your artwork will come with your painting shippment. Please feel free to email me at rosalie.ardentdraws@gmail.com with any other questions!
